Chris Paul chalked up Kevin Durant’s off night to the mental hurdle and conditioning, but also the excitement.
“I don’t care how long you play this game, you’re still excited, you’re still nervous. You know what I’m sayin’? So if he didn’t feel that, then it would be a problem.” – 2:13 AM

Suns/coach have ton of work to do. Durant wasn’t even an afterthought down stretch as Booker dominated Offense. Ayton started out getting nice feed inside from KD for easy basket. Then, cept for late layup off Paul pass, DA spent majority of time setting picks near 3-point line. – 2:12 AM

Lot of reasonable excuses to have lost that one — the flu, PHX is good, Naz got hurt — but, Idk, feels like they coulda had that.

Were there some bad calls? Sure. But Gobert’s screens were legit illegal most of the time.
Also, if you have a guy score 20 points in the first half, he probably needs more than 5 shots in the second half.
Plenty of things the Wolves could’ve done better beyond whistle – 12:35 AM

Ball movement down in this one, and thus, unsurprisingly, the impact of Conley and Anderson also down.
Like the offense Ant and KAT are self-generating. But can you fuse that together with some of that offensive flow that fueled the winning streak? Feels like they’ll need that. – 11:48 PM

If the Wolves are going to use KAT as a scoring/playmaking hub in this matchup (against Okogie/KD), then he needs to attack the process of getting deeper position.
Personally, I don’t think they need to obsess about getting to that. Move it, KAT take 3s and/or drive. – 10:25 PM

Not the type of furious energy on recoveries the Suns need right now defensively with the traps on KAT. Those recoveries also go for finding a body on the glass. Monty mentioned the offensive rebounding pregame so the team was ready for it. – 10:23 PM

curious to see how Phoenix goes at Towns, who will presumably start on Okogie. More of an ideal matchup for the KAT/Gobert frontcourt but can do different things like use Okogie as a screener like @protectedpick has been asking for. CP3 will go at Gobert as he always does. – 9:34 PM
